What are Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings?

Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) are the building components that are manufactured at a factory and assembled on site. Usually, PEBs are steel structures and can be an alternative to conventional structural steel buildings. PEB structural components are fabricated at the factory to the exact size, transported to the site, and assembled at the site, usually…
